How Long Will Mike Johnson’s Honeymoon Last?

Wall Street Journal: “For many House Republicans, all is right with the world, three weeks after the ouster of Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), with many brushing aside the existential fears that built during the party’s crisis.”

“The question is how long Johnson’s honeymoon period will last and whether the party could end up in a similar bind down the road: Republicans still have a thin 221-212 majority, sharp intraparty divisions and a rule allowing any single member to call a vote to remove the speaker.”

Said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY): “Mike Johnson has a grace period here. It’ll be at least 30 days before we get stabby again.”
